Global excellence award for Lorient

Lorient, respected designer and manufacturer of acoustic, smoke and fire seals for door assemblies was very proud to have been announced as regional winner of the HSBC Global Connections Award at the end of 2012. This award was launched to support innovative UK businesses. HSBC believe its winners represent forward-thinking, ambitious UK businesses who share their ideas on a global scale.

Lorient was chosen because of the way in which it crafted its Business Plan to research, identify, then establish strong overseas presences.

Group Finance Director, Tom Kingdon, said of the award: “In a year when we established our newest subsidiary in Singapore, it was a lovely surprise and an absolute honour to have been recognised in this way. We continue with our plans to expand our overseas operations, so who knows – this year we might even be national winners!”
